“…Low potassium revealed a lower catalytic activity at ORCs of 10 wt.% of the catalyst, 9 : 1 MTOR, and a 65 °C reaction temperature that yielded 92.84% of biodiesel in 285 min with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 6.59 h −1 . Laskar et al [184] also studied the preparation of a heterogeneous catalyst from Musa acuminata flower petals for biodiesel production from waste cooking oil. The catalyst preparation was done by open-air burning of the dried petal.…”

Agricultural waste-based heterogeneous catalysts are emerging as efficient and green catalysts. The present study explored the agricultural waste-based heterogeneous catalyst utilized in the production of biodiesel. The plant waste is composed of organic compounds and various metals which, on combustion, produces ashes that mainly consist of various metal carbonates and oxides. The most commonly employed approach for the solid catalyst preparation from plant materials is the calcination process, and it is performed at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1200°C. It is known that the temperature employed for calcination plays a vital role in the composition and development of the morphology of the catalyst. The variation in alkalinity, porosity, and, accordingly, the catalytic activity of the catalyst is significantly influenced by the calcination temperature. It was found that the potassium present in the form of oxide and carbonate as the main constituent in such catalysts played a significant role in delivering catalytic efficacy. Therefore, a number of agricultural waste-based catalysts were reported as efficient catalysts. The selection of the catalyst may be one of the important issues for application in large-scale biodiesel production. Thus, the present study was undertaken for the preparation of a rank list among the reported catalysts by following the VIKOR (Višekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje) multicriterion decision-making approach. In this work, the ranking study was performed considering the reported optimum reaction conditions (ORCs) of biodiesel synthesis reactions. The study was conducted strictly on the basis of the parameters, viz., catalyst concentration ( C 1 ), MTOR ( C 2 ), reaction temperature ( C 3 ), reaction time ( C 4 ), and biodiesel yield ( C 5 ). The parameters are considered good if C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , and C 4 are low or minimum and if C 5 is high or maximum. The catalyst prepared from plantain peel showed the best performance and ranked as the first one followed by Musa paradisiaca peel and cocoa pod husk catalysts which are ranked second. Thus, the VIKOR method can be useful for comparison and ranking purposes if there are a large number of data, and this may be expanded for thorough study by considering more criteria which may give more fruitful results.

“…Biowaste-derived catalysts have been highlighted in previous papers as a potential source for catalysts to be employed in the transesterification process. Banana peel, banana trunk, and banana peduncle catalysts have already been investigated in the creation of biodiesel [43]. Odude et al [41] reported the synthesis of HSC from fruit peels, mature bananas, unripe plantains, rubber seed wastes, sugarcane bagasse, banana trunks, cocoa pod husks, flamboyant pods, and biochar-based materials.…”

Globally, fossil fuel dependence has created several environmental challenges and climate change. Hence, creating other alternative renewable and ecologically friendly bio-energy sources is necessary. Lignocellulosic biomass has gained significant attention recently as a renewable material for biofuel production. The large amounts of plantain and banana plant parts wasted after harvesting, as well as the peels generated daily by the fruit market and industries, demonstrate the potential of bioenergy resources. This review briefly assesses plantain and banana plant biomass (PBB) generated in the developing, developed, and underdeveloped countries, the consumable parts, and feasible products yield. It emphasized the advantages and disadvantages of the commonly adopted treatment technologies of composting, incineration, and landfilling. Further, the utilization of PBB as catalysts in biodiesel synthesis was briefly highlighted. To optimize recovery of biofuel, different integration routes of pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, hydrothermal carbonization, hydrothermal liquefaction, and hydrothermal gasification for the valorization of the PBB were proposed. The complex compounds present in the PBB (hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin) can be converted into valuable bio-products such as methane gas and bio-ethanol for bioenergy, and nutrients to promote bioactive ingredients. The investigation of the viability and innovation potential of the integrated routes' technology is necessary to improve the circular bio-economy and the recovery of biofuels from biomass waste, particularly PBB.

“…A larger surface area of the catalyst boosts its activity, and the pore structure controls how widely the active site is dispersed; therefore, it is preferable for the pore structure to be well-organized [16]. In one study, it was discovered that the capacity of the reactants to diffuse through the pores of the catalyst, which increases the synthesis of biodiesel, improved the rate of reaction when the catalyst's pore structure was linked by meso-and macroporous channels [17].…”

Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) is a promising source for the manufacturing of biodiesel and has gained a lot of attention due to its environmental friendliness and availability in many parts of the world as a result of the rising need for energy. In this study, JCO was converted to biodiesel using a heterogeneous CaO-ZrO2 catalyst made from biomass and MOFs. The central composite design of response surface technique was used to change the transesterification parameters to enhance JCO conversion. After optimization using RSM, the reaction parameters were set to a catalyst loading of 6.34 wt%, a reaction time of 68 minutes, a temperature of 92.9°C, and a methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 18 : 1; then, the yield of biodiesel was found to be 97.12±0.4%. Using various analytical techniques, the chemical composition, texture, and its morphology have been examined by FT-IR, SEM-EDS, XRD, TGA, and BET. Moreover, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and GC-MS have all been used to describe the biodiesel that has been created. While the catalyst’s activity reduced, it was found that, after being washed with hexane and dried by calcination, it could still be used up to the fifth cycle.
